At The Phone.

"For me, life has been so satisfying that my curiosity lies pretty near dormant,” an old man said; “but even now I am capable of wondering over persons who blush at the telephone. People do blush then very often. A pretty girl whom I watched the other day turned the color of a pink rose at something told her over the wire.. I wish I oould have heard. It must have been something nice, for only a pleasing message could make a girl look so diappy and foolish as she looked then. —— “The man who used that same telephone an hour later also got pretty red In the face, but It wasn’t a compliment that made him color up, TH swear. He looked mad enough to eat somebody, and if he could have laid hands on the fellow who had. made him blush I suspect there would have been some lively doings in that neighborhood.”
